Bordeaux School of Neuroscience

A unique neuroscience training centre in Europe

What we do

We offer our services to international training teams who wish to organize courses in all fields of neuroscience.

We provide:

  • A dedicated staff for the full logistics and administration.
  • Scientific managers to help organizers and instructors build hands-on projects involving real neuroscience experiments.
  • On-site catering and accommodation within walking distance.
  • The organization of social events.

What we offer

A dedicated laboratory (500 m²), suitable for up to 24 trainees (in 12 groups), equipped with wet lab rooms (biochemistry, molecular biology, cell culture, workshop), in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology and imaging setups, an animal facility to study behavior, as well as computers for data analysis and modelling. In addition, we have rooms for meetings and catering.

The School can also make use of many on-site platforms, such as the Bordeaux Imaging Center, TBM Core facilities for cell sorting, single cell gene expression… as well as many labs within Bordeaux Neurocampus to expand the possibilities of the hands-on projects.
